To find the population in 2016, we need to calculate the population growth over the 6-year period from 2010 to 2016.
Population in 2010: 24,000
Annual growth rate: 1.1%
First, let's calculate the population growth over 6 years:
Population growth = Population in 2010 * Annual growth rate * Number of years
Population growth = 24,000 * 0.011 * 6
Population growth = 1,584
To find the population in 2016, we add the population growth to the population in 2010:
Population in 2016 = Population in 2010 + Population growth
Population in 2016 = 24,000 + 1,584
Population in 2016 = 25,584
Therefore, Statesville's population in 2016 would be approximately 25,584.
Statesville’s population in 2010 was about 24,000 and was growing by a 1.1% each year if this continues what will Statesville’s population be in 2016
